isn't it quite obvious that switch frames would make cute photo frames...i think so.
they look very nice if only painted in simple matt black...but i felt more like decorating them a little bit.
...as i chose to use a few of my own photos from the good old eighties...i got a little bit inspired by the very 'decent' jewellery i wore at that time...oh my god...i very much enjoyed looking like a decorated christmas tree when i was younger
it wasn't very difficult to find some 'pearl-like' craft supply, some pretty much inexpensive fake pearl jewellery and glittery pearl diamond spray paint...so i just started painting and gluing.
this is what you need
- switch frame panels in various sizes
- photos in the size of the frames
- pearly diamond spray paint
- fake pearls and pearly craft supply
- super glue
this is what you have to do
- spray-paint your frames
- if you are crafting inside, spray-painting inside a carton is a great idea
- the diamond spray gives the frames a perfect pearly finish
- adhere some pearls to the inside of the frames
- turn the frame panel around and glue the pictures onto the backside of the frame
- decorate the windows without photos with the remaining jewellery
- and here we go: diamond-and-pearls-switch-frame-photo-frames
- i actually mounted the frames onto a shiny grey handmade memoboard, but you can hang them directly to your wall
there is a wide range of different switch frames available and to decorate the frames according to the chosen photos is a lot of fun...maybe you have a great theme for your frames already...enjoy your crafting...best regards...silke
